Off Stage/On Display: Intimacy and Ethnography in the Age of Public Culture
ISBN: 9780804750066 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

Why does belonging to a group, knowing about it, or displaying its qualities to others require that certain aspects of identification be denied--not because they are false or stereotypical, but because they are thought to be accurate and indispensable signs of membership?

ISBN: 9780253221995 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

Contributors address topics such as conflicts over Islam... "Islamophobia" is a term that has been widely applied to anti-Muslim ideas and actions, especially since 9/11.

Deep History: The Architecture of Past and Present
ISBN: 9780520274624 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Humans have always been interested in their origins, but historians have been reluctant to write about the long stretches of time before the invention of writing.

The world the Bedouin inhabit is rich in oral tradition...
